Section 106 mandates that federal undertakings consider HCR and conduct appropriate consultation with FRT, State/Tribal Historic Preservation Offices (SHPO/THPO), interested parties, and the public to assess impacts and, when appropriate, seek mitigation. (paragraph 5)
The NHPA supports the preservation of properties of historical, architectural, archaeological, and cultural significance and created the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) per Reference (e). (paragraph 5)
All Coast Guard military and civilian personnel must comply with HCRM requirements per References (a) through (g). Contractors, tenants on Coast Guard property, and Coast Guard tenants on non-Coast Guard property must comply with this policy in order to comply with applicable laws, regulations, and Executive Orders (E.O.s).
